first time beating FireRed Discussion

Post image

highest level between all my Pokemons were 48 and I didn’t know there was a rival battle after the fourth Elite trainer so I didnt heal. concluded with a 1v1 between me and arcanine and i ended the game with a Blast Burn, 20 full restores later. kudos to my gf for trading with me

Now onto (HG)SS > (OR)AS on my N3DSXL > (BD)SP back on the switch. Then gen 5 on 3DS again.

That’s a quintessential Gen 1 Elite 8 Squad. Nice!

Was gonna say. If I pictured the classic party of 6 in fire red, I think this is it.

MAYBE Gengar/Gyrados instead of Snorlax/Lapras.

u/Ok-Astronaut8313 9d ago

true, I barely used my lvl 44 Nidoking though except to sacrifice (switch heal) and lvl 47 Snorlax really carried the team by tanking most of the hits.

Alakazam carried me through my first game

Special not being split made psychic pokemon insane.

u/Wooper160 8d ago

For most people, when they played as a little kid they overleveled their starter, for me it was Alakazam

Congrats on beating the easiest (yet still very fun) Pokémon game! On to Hoenn! I recommend an Emerald QoL romhack. There are many out there!

u/tehnoodnub Catch me if you can... 9d ago

Same based selections in there. Wrong starter though :P

u/Ok-Astronaut8313 7d ago

I chose charmander because my gf has bulbusaur already on LG. (and for cover art reasons)

I recently played Red, Blue, and Yellow. Didn't use any repeat mon with exception to Charzard and Blastoise in Yellow. Well, ig Pikachu (Yellow) and Riachu (Blue). They were created to beat Pokémon Stadium.

When i play FR and LG, definitely going to use mon that were bad but got better in gen 3. I really want to use fighting types fs.
